Sounds like a great shop. You need to mention their name so they can get the business they deserve. I was going to mention polishing/lapping the bore if you ran out of options. I had a Taurus with a very rough bore, after the treatment the velocity increased and cleaning was much quicker. It took 30-45 minutes to complete and is hard to mess up. Since then I have done it to a few others and in all cases it made the bore easier to clean. Dolomite

I looked and looked and finally just bought some Remington ammo and shot it up. I konw it is more expensive than just brass but finding reloadable 7.62x39 brass can be troublesome. Here are some at midway usa: MidwayUSA - The page you were looking for could not be found...*** Dolomite

Can you post pictures of the inside of the slide? Specifically in front of the ejection port and the opening for the barrel at the front of the slide. One more area to look at would be the breech face. The only thing that makes it seem like it has some rounds through it is the front of the barrel. Not sure where you bought it but there are some shops that let potential customers rent guns before purchase. Perhaps this was one that had been rented a few times but because it has never left the dealer it was consdiered, by them, to still be new. Dolomite

I sent you a PM with the Top "5" rifle and pistol suppressors for a 22 lr. I would recommend spending the money at Silencer Research before buying. The money spent on a subscription can save you a lot of money and aggravation if you buy a silencer that doesn't work well. Dolomite

I have a paid membership to Silencer Research. He used the MIL-STD for all of his testing. He makes a living testing silencers and owes no allegence in any one manufacturer. You would be surprised but some suppressors work better in pistols than in rifles and vice versa. As a matter of fact there isn't a single silencer that is rated number on on both a rifle and a pistol. They do use the P22 for quite a bit of their testing. If you want I can look up their charts and find what gives the best suppression on the P22. Dolomite

I have used Clays, Longshot, HS-6 and Power Pistol. Personally I like Power Pistol for my full power practice loads. I use 7.4 grains of Power Pistol under a 200 grain cast lead bullet. For mild shooting I use Clays. I use 4 grains under a 230 grain bullet. Makes for a mild shooter. Even though that is the max according to Hogdon I have loaded it up to 4.5 grains without issue but I recommend you stay within the specs or at least work up the load yourself. It can loosen the primer pockets if you are getting high into the pressures. Dolomite

It is better to live to find another job than be killed because you don't want to risk being fired. Most times the person making these policies has never had to work in a position in which their lives may be in danger so they do not understand. I worked as a delivery person for two days before I quit over being told I couldn't have ANY weapons in my car while on the clock. Knowing that the delivery drivers were getting robbed weekly I wasn't going to leave myself defenseless and I quit the second day. Most of the drivers had been robbed and actually acted like it was some sort of crazy initiation. This was in Alabama a long time ago but even though I no longer work I will never be left defenseless. Dolomite

I use WD to start the cleaning process. I will soak the part down with WD-40 then wipe it all off with a cloth rag, it seems to work pretty well. It doesn't get dry like when I use non-chlorinated brake cleaner but seems to loosen the crud pretty well. After that I will use q-tips to really clean the areas that I normally apply the grease to. I use WD as a cutting fluid when machining or tapping. It also works well on your hands if they are a bit stiff. I have a friend who swears by it for that purpose. I have tried it and I am not usre if it was wishful thinking or not but it did seem to work. As far as gun lubricants I use a good molybendum disulfide grease on the rails and high stress areas. I also use a 50/50 mix of synthetic motor oil and transmission fluid as a protectanct and lubricant on other parts. So far the 50/50 mix has worked well on everything I have tried it on. If the grease seems a bit thick for a certain area I will thin it with a few drops of the 50/50 mix. Personally I believe the grease acts as a shock absorber between high stress parts. Dolomite

CMMG makes an excellent upper in 22 lr that is the same weight as a 223 upper. Dedicated .22LR Uppers CMMG Inc. AR15 Rifles, Parts and Accessories. .22 LR Dedicated AR-15 Rifles, Dedicated AR 15 9mm Rifles and Uppers, Tactical Bacon The kits are fine for most people but the best my conversion has ever shot was about 1" at 25 yards. My dedicated upper built using a CMMG barrel will do that at 50 yards easily. Dolomite

To be honest plucking the empty off the bolt face is easier than trying to work out the ejection without permanently altering something. The ejector is in the bolt face so it ejects the casing up inside of the receiver in the locking lug area. When that happens you have to tilt the guns muzle up and give it a shake to get the empty to fall out. I tried working out an ejector that was receiver mounted but it would require machining the bolt head at a minimum. If I had to have it eject rounds I would rather machine the receiver. With such a low pressure cartridge it isn't going to affect the safety or durability of the gun. With the longer cases it may not be needed but with pistol cases it will need to be altered in order to eject the empties. Dolomite

The barrel is available from Brownells: SHILEN : PISTOL BARREL SKU: 787-451-160 The rear sights are Williams WGRS, also available from Brownells: WILLIAMS GUN SIGHT : "WGRS" RECEIVER SIGHTS SKU: 962-000-068 The front sight is a Tech Sight for a .920 barrel 10/22: Tech-SIGHTS Precision Shooting Accessories .920 Barrel Dovetail Adaptor for Ruger 10/22 Item #: TS157 for $15 Front Sight Tower Assembly: Item #: TSR110 for $22 *************************************** Take the barrel blank to a smith and have them thread, chamber and turn the muzzle for the .920 sight base. Install it into the Savage receiver and set headspace, it is easy as pie on a Savage. Especially for a low pressure round like the 45 ACP. Then press fit the sight base onto the .920 portion at the muzzle. Install the WGRS sights and zero. I took a chance on the sight heights and it is like they were made for eachother. Problem with using a Savage is the empties get dropped just out of the chamber so you have to do one of two things. One, mill the receiver aft of the barrel end so the empties can get ejected without getting caught up. Or two, flip the ejector to disable it and pluck the empties off the bolt face. I use the later method as it doesn't permanently alter the gun. My wife doesn't mid it either. It is easier than fishing the empty out of the receiver and we can load and fire quite fast using this second method. It makes for a nice, easy shooting gun with enough knock down to take care of anything it might come across here in East Tennessee. It is also relatively quiet as well with factory ammunition.

Are you wanting a free float handguard? If so then removing the gas block is a simple affair. Just knock the two taper pins loose then twist the gas block off. After that you can get to the nut that holds the barrel on. If you don;t want all the hassle you can get quad rails that replace the current handguards. They generally are cheaper than the free float quad rails as well. I have free float tubes on a couple of guns. I drilled and tapped them then installed rails just where I needed them. I have also installed UTG quad rails on my wife's 9mm AR. It has been used and abused for years and the UTG bolt on quad rails have held up just fine. Some will say the UTG raisl are junk but for most they work well. Dolomite

If you have a common name that might cause the mix up. The the letter say you had a juvenile record or are you assuming that what the denile is because? From the sounds of it there has to be more to it. Maybe nothing on your end but maybe on the end of another person with the same name. Seems a bit much to deny based on a minor infraction as a juvenile. Dolomite

This is from the article. I assumed it was truthful and didn't read the bill itself. Dolomite

I would go a bit farther and allow deadly force to protect property from theft. Maybe set a maximum dollar amount such as $1,000 in total value before deadly force can be used. Maybe set it up so a felony theft could be prevented with deadly force but misdemeanor you can't. That way if some young kid decided to steal a yard ornamnet it wouldn't cost him his life but if someone is stealing a car then deadly force should be able to be used. And before all the bleeding hearts say something about killing someone over an object, if the bad guy wasn't involved in stealing something then they wouldn't be in postitoin to be shot. It is just so sad that thieves are able to get away with so much. And even if they are caught sentences are so light that there is no incentive to stop. I know of a friend who has had a relatives property broken into several times. They tell thieves to just leave because it is pretty much fruitless to pursue it any more. Even the local store will not prosecute shoplifters any longer. In speaking with the owner by the time they pay an employee to go to court a few times it costs the store more than it is worth because in almost every case the thieves are relased on unsupervised probation. There was even a worker who embezzled over $60,000 by illegally charging up gift cards but never ringing them up. She was caught and plead guilty to everything. She was sentenced to 3 years unsupervised probation. She was also ordered to pay restitution but after her conviction she said she was no longer able to work because of a mental condition caused by her being caught. She also said she was unable to find work because no one wanting to hire a thief. Thieves are the most disturbing people I can think of. My family, specifically my father, has stolen from me in the past. I let it slide but I no longer will because I am tired of their ways. Dolomite

Would you be interested in selling the 7.62x39 upper as is? If so PM me with a price. Dolomite ETA: Is it a 311 or 308 bore?

And this forum is a pretty mild forum compared to some. There are other sites out there that would have had the OP curled up in the fetal position, thumb in his mouth, crying for his mommy if he was upset by what Fallguy said to him. Dolomite

And in the same note. If they are allowing liability protection for those employers who allow people to carry then those that don't should be held accountable for any injuries or deaths that could have prevented with the use of a firearm. This should be the same for restaurants that allow people to enter with firearms. They should also have liability protection. After all it isn't like the restaurant itself would be the problem it would be the person wielding the gun. When it comes to the restaurants that are posted I have always asked for them to be liable if I become injured by a situation a gun could have prevented. I have done this by writing reps on several occassions. Hold the criminal financially accountable first but if the criminal is unable to pay then the remainder is to be covered by the restaurant that refused me my ability to protect myself. If the restaurants will not allow me the ability to protect myself then they should be held responsible if I do become injured especially if the injury could have been easily prevented through the use of my firearm.

Nearly all members of the church are attorneys. Their protests are probably part of their money making plan. They protest and hope for someone to do something they can sue for. I am honestly surprized some grieving family member has't put a dent in their population yet. Dolomite

As far as our laws go, the only ones that should remain are those that directly and negatively impact others. The lawmakers are too worried about what someone might do rather than what they did do. I have never used drugs but if someone wants to put some poison in their body they should be allowed to. But if they steal in order to afford those drugs then hold them accountable for stealing and not the the use or possession of the drugs. Big Macs aren't regulated and they are probably just as damaging as most drugs when eaten as often as drugs are used. If someone wants to drive their car without a seatbelt, more power to them. There are dozens of examples of there shouldn;t be a law regulating it but there is. Also, I don't need the government to tell me how to protect myself, I am pretty good at that. It is survival of the fitest, both metally and physically. Dolomite

Remington 700 take off's rarely are drop in. It almost always requires some sort of machining. You might get lucky and only need a little off the shoulder but if it is already at minimum headspace you are going to need to have it rechambered, which is going to increase the cost substantially. Not sure how much of a deal you are getting on the barrel but plan on spending $200+ just to have it fitted to your action and that is if everything goes reasonably well. Another option: There is a gunsmith that is making Savage type barrels for the Remington 700 that use a barrel nut to lock in the proper headspace. You can put the new barrel on at home with common hand tools. Basically you screw the Rem-Age barrel in to the proper headspace then lock it in place with the barrel nut. The barrels he is using are quality McGowen barrels. These are much higher quality barrels than any Remington barrel. And again, these can be swapped at home by you. If you can change your own oil you have enough skill to do this on your own. The hardest part is going to be removing the old barrel. On Remingtons it can be a hassle but it can be done. Make some oak blocks and put them in a vise using sugar for grip. Or you could have a shop remove the barrel for $50 then you add the new Rem-Age barrel. And you can actually adjust the headspace to save the brass you reload but that is another story all together. When setting my headspace I use a sized case to set the minimum headspace. This will ensure I get the minimum amount of headspace rather than the max. People run into problems from too much headspace not too little. This helps my brass last a lot longer as well as ensure everything is more consistent within the gun. The loaded round won't move for or aft thousands of an inch like a gun with factory headspacing. If you do decide to have the factory barrel fitted to your action Predator Custom Shop is the way to go. Their primary source of income is building custom 700's. Dolomite
